In my efforts to switch to NixOS for my homelab, I decided to redo my website.
I don’t like web dev. So last time I used WordPress which has like a nice UI and everything to make changes, however selfhosting WordPress is more complicated than I wanted, too much database and PHP…
So this time I’m using a static site generator. The total installation and migration time was a quiet 4 hour shift at IST and that also included upgrading NixOS to 26.05. The only coding so far was just editing the default theme htmls to let me dump pictures in a directory instead of making a million separate directories. Also writing markdown is pretty nice.
